Whenever I go to the movies, I'm upset by the fact that my popcorn and maybe-that-is-whiskey-you- smell-what's-it-to-ya Coke are not packaged in a manner that allows me to blast my innards with as much sugar, butter, and other American nutrition as quickly as possible. You see, in the amount of time
it takes to scoop a handful of popcorn, then switch hands and take a sip of whis--I mean Coke, there are a good 1.4 seconds that have been wasted; time that, otherwise, could have been devoted to grabbing some Milk Duds or pouring more whis---I mean Coke into my throat. This problem is nearing epidemic, as people across the world are slowing their hand-change times to nearly 3 whole seconds, which is absolutely unacceptable.
Last night, while screaming at stick figure drawings of the cast of M*A*S*H, I had an epiphany: I have gone completely batshit insane. Then I figured out a way to correct the imbalance of the food/beverage to mouth ratio in a manner that will revolutionize the theater-going experience to the point that it may not suck anymore. Behold, the Popcorn/Beverage Container.
With a sturdy plastic bottom to hold the beverage, accompanied by a popcorn bucket with a sealed straw running through it, you can enjoy your whis--I mean Coke AND popcorn from the convenience of that awesome spot you found to snipe the freeway from! Wait, what I meant to say was "convenience of the same container," not that silly freeway stuff. Seriously, I didn't say that. Why, did someone ask about it? Cuz I was out of town that day, uhh, seeing a movie... with... uhh, my handy popcorn container! The one in the link below!

//The straw would have to have a valve-system//
Not really. The popcorn bucket wouldn't form an airtight seal with the drink section, the straw would either run through a gasket in the bottom of the bucket or be sealed to it for no other purpose than to prevent butter from contaminating your whis--I mean Coke.

//To avoid condensation wetting popcorn//
Good point. I don't think straw condensation would pose much of a problem considering that fluid doesn't stay in there once your mouth comes off, but perhaps an alternate "outside the bucket" design would be good, too.

[Aq_Bi] - Actually...no. I am a fan of the site, but I've had my writing style pretty much since Jr. High, and teachers said it was "great writing, but you need to stay on topic more." I wish I could write for SA, though. Oh, I did borrow the "batshit insane" phrase, since it should be incorporated into everyday speech.
I'll take your anno as a compliment.
